Cache – Lazy Computers

We refer to it “Lazy Computers” who do not want to look for the new settings/files on the internet and constantly showing you the old detail. The only way to fix this is to clear your “cache files”.

A web cache is a mechanism for the temporary storage (caching) of web documents, such as HTML pages and images, to reduce bandwidth usage, server load, and perceived lag. A web cache stores copies of documents passing through it; subsequent requests may be satisfied from the cache if certain conditions are met

Reason/ways to do this:

1) Download CClearner form our home page, (select the free installation) install and press the “run” key on the right bottom. This will automatically clean out old internet files, history and data. Not to worry, you wont loose any information on your Computer.

2) Your internet browser shows old website information or “page could not be found. This again is caused by by old caching files on your computer. This can also cause email problems from time to time, especially if your hosting company changed servers. Sometimes it also work if you press the Ctrl and theF5 key on your keyboard together.
